Remember when ‘Total Divas’ star Cameron was wrestling Naomi and tried to pin her while she was facedown, because after three years of experience she had no idea how wrestling works?

Yep. Cameron is better than Bayley. She’s better than Kimber Lee and Athena, who are basically the #1 and 2 hottest things in independent women’s wrestling right now. She’s better than vets like Candice LaRae, Portia Perez, Mia Yim and Mercedes Martinez. She’s 25 wrestlers better than Veda Scott. She’s 21 wrestlers better than Naomi. All joking about PWI lists being garbage aside, who on the f*cking planet thinks CAMERON is the Shawn and Noami is the Marty? There isn’t anything shoot or kayfabe to justify that. Are you listing them in alphabetical order?
2015 is the year of Cameron, everybody.
(Serious note: big ups to NWA World Women’s Champion Barbi Hayden for cracking the list at #12.)
